Basket Carts
Basket Carts lets players place a basket on a minecart, so the cart can carry items it collects from the track.
What it does
Right-clicking an empty minecart with a basket block turns it into a basket cart. A basket minecart carries a basket block, and right-clicking the minecart with a basket block places one on it. Minecarts with baskets collect items as they travel, which makes them useful for gathering drops along a rail line.
The mod is a Babric mod for BTA and is published only for b1.7.3. It needs Fabric Language Kotlin and Raywire to run. Because it is a client and server mod, the server and every player need it. The source code is public, and the code is released under the MIT License, so it is open source. Snapshot builds are also published. One author note says the mod works only in singleplayer, so multiplayer use is not covered by the description.
